LG SIMS - Self Diagnosis Functions

The SIMs WLAN module and the smart phone app together provide monitoring and
troubleshooting capability for LG Duct Free Systems. SIMs function only with LG Duct
Free products. LG SIMs can also be used with Single Zone one-to-one configurations
such as the Single Zone Wall Mount systems.
SIMs app is available for Apple
tems. Download the latest version from the App Store (iPhone iOS) or Google Play™
store (Android). (Apple and iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S.
and other countries. Android and Google Play store are trademarks of Google LLC.
SIMs can display and graph operational data for the air conditioner system including
the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. SIMs also displays error codes and a trouble-
shooting guide. A full copy of the LG SIMs Smart Inverter Monitoring System User's
Manual is available on the www.lghvac.com website.
To use SIMs, you must be a trained HVAC service technician familiar with variable
refrigerant flow (VRF) systems in general, and with LG's Duct Free System products.
You must understand the inverter air conditioning operation cycle, the meaning of the
data displayed by SIMs, and how to use the data to troubleshoot the system.
High voltages capable of causing death are used
in this equipment. Outdoor unit power remains con-
nected during this procedure. Take extreme caution
not to touch electrical components or connections.
Failure to observe this warning can result in death
or severe injury.
• The Duct Free System air conditioning system must
run for at least 15–20 minutes before data collected
by SIMs is valid for troubleshooting.
• The free SIMs app must be correctly installed on
the smart phone before using SIMs.
• Some outdoor units have an LGMV extension cable
accessed by removing the side handle cover. If the
outdoor unit does not have this extension cable,
access the LGMV connector by removing the top
cover of the outdoor unit.
